The fact that we need zetas to beat a 2 or 3* team with 7 star G10-11 tells you all you need to know about how messed up the difficulty is.

Mods, mods, zeta optional lol

Mods should not be an issue to beating a 2 and 3* team. The balance of the event is the issue when 7* g10 toons have issues with 3* groups

You,do,know,that star count doesn't mean much right, . . .

You’re missing Shore Troooer as part of that lineup. Not only is he a powerfully tanky tank, but he gives crit immunity AND he heals for a Large amount. The to top all of that off, he increases the max health of all of your troopers. Key toon.

A 7* level 85 G10+ Empire Squad is needed for a phase 1 special mission.

Nope!

Yeah, ok, Tarkin G11. And then?

Vader G9
TFP G8
EP G8
RG G8

So yeah...no.

Wow, and I just reread his abilities, he also gets a FREE heal whenever a trooper uses a special ability, AND he gives them 15% TM.

You could not possibly compare this to Phoenix squad. There isn’t a single toon in Phoenix who stands out in their squad nearly as much as Shore stands out as key in his.

It’s like running Rogue One without Baze. That’s how key Shore is.

Makes sense, but Shore is hella harder to farm than Baze (or at least harder than he use to be). I’m at 45/65 for Shore.

Again though, we’re talking about phases 1-3 here. I ran Rogue One without Baze before I had him started up and did just fine in earlier phases.

I'm fine with the difficulty. I think rewards should be raised a little and a bigger player pool would've been nice

I am finding the difficulty much easier. I've completed all waves with ease compared to last time when I had only completed two missions through this point. The difference in difficulty is considerable from last DSTB to this one. It's really hard to imagine what's giving you trouble with the team you're using. Maybe kill order?

That’s true, Shore is super tough and in fact tougher than Baze. I don’t know how long I’ve been farming him, but I’m now at 63/100.

Crazy to hear Rogue One did well without Baze.

I’m wondering if DSTB is meant to be more difficult. Getting 114 on LSTB was kind of dissapointing. It’s like, well, guess this is on autopilot now.

I like having a challenge to look forward to.

Well, if you compare it to LS TB, this is rather difficult. But if you compare it with the previous DS TB difficulty, it's a walk in the park.
Prepare the get annihilated tommorow though, in phase 4 those special abilities are back =D

Unless you knock them out ;)

I remember having an easier time with Phase 4 last time than I did 1~3
